Reasons not to suggest desyncing coils for gear:

  1. Solo farming (Savage) only works at 50, and is thus not a sustainable way to teach sprouts to get gear.
  2. It requires a level-capped player to help you, or for you to already be capped.
  3. It requires that you have no Allagan Tomestone of Poetics Poetics or Gil Gil, which is incredibly unlikely.
  4. It is confusing to have three different methods called out at the top.
  5. The Heavensward 115 gear (and all catch-up gear) is given by the MSQ, so there will be a steady supply on the Market Board even if no one is crafting this gear.

Why would you ever choose the latter option? At that level, that is actually a massive amount of seals.
